空间配置器的作用
我们知道,stl中的数据都是放到容器中的,容器需要存储空间,空间配置器就是负责容器存储空间的分配、回收等一系列内存操作。
STL标准规范中描述的allocator模版类的必要声明:
- <strong>Constructors</strong>
- // Constructors used to create allocator objects.
- allocator(); // Default constructor
- allocator(const allocator<Type>& _Right); // Copy constructor
- template<class Other> // Template copy constructor
- allocator(const allocator<Other>& _Right);
- <strong>Typedefs</strong>
- const_pointer // A type that provides a constant pointer to the type of object managed by the allocator.
- const_reference // A type that provides a constant reference to type of object managed by the allocator.
- difference_type // A signed integral type that can represent the difference between values of pointers to the type of object managed by the allocator.
- pointer // A type that provides a pointer to the type of object managed by the allocator.
- reference // A type that provides a reference to the type of object managed by the allocator.
- size_type // An unsigned integral type that can represent the length of any sequence that an object of template class allocator can allocate.
- value_type // A type that is managed by the allocator.
- <strong>Member Functions</strong>
- // Finds the address of an object whose value is specified.
- pointer (reference _Val) const;
- const_pointer (const_reference _Val) const;
- // Allocates a block of memory large enough to store at least some specified number of elements.
- pointer allocate(size_type _Count, const void* _Hint);
- // Constructs a specific type of object at a specified address that is initialized with a specified value.
- void construct(pointer _Ptr, const Type& _Val);
- // Frees a specified number of objects from storage beginning at a specified position.
- void deallocate(pointer _Ptr, size_type _Count);
- // Calls an objects destructor without deallocating the memory where the object was stored.
- void destroy(pointer _Ptr);
- // Returns the number of elements of type Type that could be allocated by an object of class allocator before the free memory is used up.
- size_type max_size( ) const;
- // A structure that enables an allocator for objects of one type to allocate storage for objects of another type.
- template<class _Other>
- struct rebind {
- typedef allocator<_Other> other;
- };
- <strong>Operators overload</strong>
- template<class Other>
- allocator<Type>& operator=(const allocator<Other>& _Right); // Assignment operator
SGI STL使用的空间配置器
SGI STL底层没有采用上述STL标准规范中的声明,它的配置器与众不同,其名称是alloc而非allocator,而且不接受任何参数。
SGI STL中的每种容器都已经指定其缺省的空间配置器alloc,我们在使用时很少需要自行指定配置器。
SGI STL空间配置器的设计哲学:
- 从堆中申请内存空间
- 考虑多线程状态
- 考虑内存不足时的应变措施
- 考虑过多“小型区块”可能造成的内存碎片问题
SGI STL空间配置器alloc的设计描述:
- 使用双层级配置器
- 第一级配置器(__malloc_alloc_template)直接使用malloc() 和 free()
- 第二级配置器(__default_alloc_template)视情况采用不同策略:当配置区块超过128byte时,视之为“足够大”,便调用第一级配置器;否则,视之为“过小”,为了提高效率(1.减少内存碎片;2.降低额外负担:直接使用malloc()申请内存时,系统会要多分配一些内存(内存头)用来管理所分配的内存空间),采用复杂的内存池(memory pool)技术(见下文详解),不再求助于第一级配置器
- SGI STL为了使配置器的接口能够符合STL的标准规范,提供了一个包装接口simple_alloc:
- template<class T, class Alloc>
- class simple_alloc {
- public:
- static T *allocate(size_t n)
- { return 0 == n? 0 : (T*) Alloc::allocate(n * sizeof (T)); }
- static T *allocate(void)
- { return (T*) Alloc::allocate(sizeof (T)); }
- static void deallocate(T *p, size_t n)
- { if (0 != n) Alloc::deallocate(p, n * sizeof (T)); }
- static void deallocate(T *p)
- { Alloc::deallocate(p, sizeof (T)); }
- };

- 第二层配置器的核心就是内存池
- SGI STL的内存池通过free_list数组来管理,数组中包含16个free list,每个free list节点大小依次从8、16、24递增到128byte
- 分配内存时(假定分配大小在128byte内),首先根据分配大小找到合适的free list,如果该free list中没有可用的节点,则调用refill()函数从内存池中取空间给该free list用,然后返回第一个节点的内存空间,并调整该free list
- refill()缺省取20个新节点(区块),通过调用chunk_alloc(),然后根据取得新节点的实际个数,调整相应的free list(大于1)
- chunk_alloc()内部实现最为复杂,根据内存池剩余空间大小与需求量的关系,分为三种情况,具体看代码,不再赘述
